The Governor, Mr George Fergusson, currently in London on official business, has issued the following statement: "Margaret and I were very sad to learn of the death of Lady Swan. She was impressive by any standards - compassionate, highly intelligent, fun and courageous. She was a pillar of the LCCA, with many in the community owing much to her wise advice in the LCCA's work. She faced her illness bravely and calmly. We send our condolences to Sir John and her wider family."
